Big Mac Attack: Man Eats 25,000th Burger

How many Big Macs have you eaten in your lifetime? Well, a Wisconsin man knows exactly how many of the iconic burgers he’s scarfed down over the years, and the number will probably blow your mind.
A special ceremony was planned Tuesday afternoon at McDonald’s in Fond du Lac for Don Gorske. That’s because, since 1972, Gorske has eaten at least two Big Macs a day, which means the 57-year-old will be eating his 25,000th Big Mac on the 39th anniversary of eating his first.
The Fond du Lac man says he ate nine on May 17, 1972 and has only missed nine days since then, for various reasons.
He has kept most of the boxes or receipts or has made specific notes in calendars that he’s kept.
Gorske says he probably has an obsessive-compulsive disorder but he doesn’t consider it a problem.
He jokes that 25,000 is a milestone because people didn’t think he’d live this long. But he says he recently saw a doctor who said he was in good health and his cholesterol is low.

:eek2: I seriously doubt that I've eaten 1,000 McDonald hamburgers in the past 60 years.

hmmm, I think I may have an interesting question for the OT developing. I will say that during different periods of my life I can track trends.

in 1998 I ate at least 340 Whoppers
in 1989-2011 I am sure I ate at least 500 Subway subs
I can be sure there are 300+ big macs in there and I know the biggest count over my entire life would be the Filet-O-Fish. It definitely doubles or triples those lifetime numbers.

I read somewhere that if you eat all the plain (unsalted, no butter) popcorn you can and have one Big Mac a day you will lose weight at an astounding rate. It actually makes sense to me.

I just don't like popcorn that much, or Big Macs or I'd give it a try....:lol:

As long as you consume less than 1800 calories per day, then you'll absolutely lose weight. The resting/non mobile human body needs 1800 calories per day just to function (breathing, circulation, digestion).
